Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 136 - 140

It is time for a revision lesson to look at the last five stitches.
Click on the title to see instructions and previous posts for each stitch.

136 Tied Windmill Stitch
This is a beautiful stitch and can be made into different shapes.
Change the spacing, the length of the arms, the placement of the cross, the thread colour, weight and type, and the sky's the limit, as they say.



 137 Brick Stitch
For an even look use a weave with a good grid.


138 Waved Chain Stitch
So easy, so impressive. This is a stitch well worth learning!


139 Sycamore Stitch
A Lego stitch, use it to build various motifs.


140 Indian Herringbone Stitch
This makes such an attractive woven look, perfect for the image of checked tweed etc.



Homework:
It is time for another Sunbonnet Sue sampler.
This time I made use of my molding pads, and fabric crayons to make part of the scene.

The waved chain stitch does look good. I wonder what Sue will be doing this time?

Your embroidery is beautiful and clever background for Sue's next adventure.
Here we go! Surfing or bubble bath?

Your group of stitches look wonderful. I can't imagine how Sue will appear after you use the pad and crayons. Love the world and the clever additions to the edge.

OOh... The fabric coloring looks interesting! Can't wait to see what Sue is going to do next!
